nbd/server: Add --selinux-label option
Under SELinux, Unix domain sockets have two labels. One is on the
disk and can be set with commands such as chcon(1). There is a
different label stored in memory (called the process label). This can
only be set by the process creating the socket. When using SELinux +
SVirt and wanting qemu to be able to connect to a qemu-nbd instance,
you must set both labels correctly first.
For qemu-nbd the options to set the second label are awkward. You can
create the socket in a wrapper program and then exec into qemu-nbd.
Or you could try something with LD_PRELOAD.
This commit adds the ability to set the label straightforwardly on the
command line, via the new --selinux-label flag. (The name of the flag
is the same as the equivalent nbdkit option.)
A worked example showing how to use the new option can be found in
this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1984938

[eblake: rebase to configure changes, reject --selinux-label if it is
not compiled in or not used on a Unix socket]
Note that we may relax some of these restrictions at a later date,
such as making it possible to label a TCP socket, although it may be
smarter to do so as a generic QMP action rather than more one-off
command lines in qemu-nbd.
